I bought them at a store in my country, but since that store is far from where I live, I ordered them from their web site, I ordered on Monday, but it was shipped to my yesterday (Tuesday), and arrived this morning.

I'm really happy, they're the colours I really wanted, and I think I'm going to get a couple more.

Now you'll probably notice there are two dark paints, a clear green and red.

Welcome to part 2 of the work in progress, if you notice, I put the image a little bigger, I decided it would look better.

In this first picture you can see the waist and legs, the skirt armour is quite simple, just put two stickers and it's done. You can see by the pose, that it's a very posable kit, and has a great balance.

This will be the Unboxing of the Exia Repair II, my first gunpla model, and so far so good, I love Exia and his role in the anime.

This is the box art, as I said in the last post, it's a very cool box, it captures Exia in a pretty cool action pose, and if you get the 0 Gundam you can combine both boxes and recreate the battle scene, big plus for Bandai for making that effort.

Hello fellow gunpla modellers, I've been this last two weeks on summer vacations so no work for me on my new model, I got the package, two days before going on vacations. It's a HG 1/144 Exia Repair II. I started working on it as soon as I opened the box. I washed the pieces, just in case, so they won't have any factory oil or something.
The box art is really cool, it catches Exia in a very cool action pose, and if you get the HG 1/144 0 Gundam you can join the boxes and recreate the fighting scene of the anime.
This is like a re-release of the HG 1/144 Exia, because you'll get the pieces to make the early version of the Exia, shoulders, arms, leg pieces, GN Sword 1, and a few pieces for holding the GN Sword and GN Dagger on Exia's waist.
I decided going for the Repair II version, I have also bought a set of Gundam Markers, and they have been very helpful, I have painted a couple things, like the GN Sword and Dagger, the Beam Saber ( I'll show you later), the face mask, and head helmet. So tomorrow I'll be posting the first part of the Work in Progress, I can say I have finished like 90 % of the kit, I only have to paint the clear pieces and panel line a few things more.
So see you tomorrow! ;)
